this week's "new york times" magazine faces the changing face of the obama administration, four years after it first took office. at the time of the first inaugural, "new york times" magazine published 52 portraits of the president's top aides and advisers. i can remember reading it, looking at it. now peter is writing roughly half of the people in the photo essay are gone. some embittered by realities they did not anticipate or cast aside by a president cutting losses. the gauzy hope of 2009 has faded into the stacker realism of 2013. a washington they promised to transform is as divided as ever. peter, you know, i haven't seen the sunday times magazine, obviously, yet, but i can recall at issue, and we all recall what's encountered, what the country has encountered over the last four years. my question to you is, some of the people seem to be embittered, some of the people seem resentful of what didn't happen. are they unrealistic about what the country endured, what happened four years ago? i mean, what happened within the first three or four months of the obama administration? >>

so it is kind of obama's fault. of course, the simpler explanation is not that obama planned all this. but the reason they have been taking moderate positions they have taken for years now, those just may be the positions. if the republican party can't agree to them or come up with popular ideas of their own, the problem may be within the republican party, not at 1600 pennsylvania avenue. barack obama is the president of the united states. he is a very powerful man, responsible for many things. but he is not why most republicans have taken a pledge, saying they will never raise a dollar in taxes no matter what the budget deficit looks like. he is not why they decided to put the whole u.s. economy at risk if they don't get their way on spending cuts. he is not why the white house partnered with gun legislation, no matter how small, is tantamount to taking away guns, he is not why extreme movements like extreme ideas like going back to a gold standard in the middle of an economic crisis have taken root on the right. t
